Did it all with my real voice, and was surprised it was strong 
the entire contest.  Don't know why I had so few zones on 20, it 
just worked out that way.  

500,000 more points than last year, due entirely to packet (which 
was out here most of Saturday afternoon).  Makes the contest less 
"lonesome".  

To K3OO:  your daughter is a fantastic operator.  If I was in the 
same pileup with her, I just waited until she worked the station 
before calling.  The signal and that wonderful voice were too much 
to overcome. 

I need to do something about 160 meters.  The FP station couldn't 
hear me even though I was the only one calling.  Still, got US/VE 
and three zones.  But that 80 meter vee even with a tuner isn't 
cutting it on 160.
